How crazy it is. I never thought I'd bloom amaryllis in the middle of Summer... And I am doing the same as you do. I just got a compliment for my two flowers on display how gorgeous they are. They are Jumbo Desire and Grandeur... I like Grandeur. I didn't think I would. It is a wonderful surprise, like the little Giraffe was not too long ago... I loved Green Goddess... And I can't wait for Promise to open... I loved it on pictures. I hope it will live up to the expectations.

It's so beautiful, Maria. Thanks for sharing.

Soultan...Last year I scheduled my planting of newly purchased bulbs in a "first in first out" method (Fall 2005-Spring 2006). My last purchase if I remember right was from Royal Colors which I received middle of June. I had blooms until August or September. If scheduled right and done properly, you can have Amaryllis blooms all year round!

This is what's in bloom for me today. These are all newly purchased bulbs that bloomed in the basement. I had to bring them out for a group pic.

Sooooo beautiful, The color is so 'soft' it looks lighter in the group shot. Is that from the different lighting or has it lightened over time?
And your 'Peaches and Cream' is also a stunner.

Hi Dizzy! How are you and your amaryllises doing? Darling really has this pale baby pink color. Peaches and Cream is really amazing me. This is it's second scape and it's flowers have gotten bigger and are very long lasting.

What a group.They are all breath takingly lovely.

Promise is in bloom for me right now... Huge flower... Santa Cruz looks really inferior next to it. Poor soul.
